UK stunts British boy's Bolshoi ballet career

A rising British ballet star is one of a select few to become a student of the renowned Bolshoi ballet school. But despite his talent, British authorities have taken the 16-year-old's child benefit away. His family is now accusing the UK government of financially stunting his potential.

To all those saying ballet is for gays... you are so very wrong... We male straight dancers get along with a bunch of beautiful ballet girls, we are allowed to touch them, carry them and yes.. we date them... Have any of you had a ballerina GF yourselves? huh?

cont.. that wasn't a problem either as your family could send you to a good private school to catch up on British education. Don't talk about cheap publicity stunts - losing the Child Benefit, subject of this video clip, was a real hardship for Henry's family. It is probably a drop in the ocean for you. And how can you comment on how much sponsorship he got - you haven't a clue! His mother, whom you criticise, has had to work very, very long hours to make ends meet and support his training..cont

I notice you do see any big fat ass ballet dancers, You must be in excellet physical condition to dance the proper way, I would bet any of these ballet dancers could dance a polka in a very fast tempo.

@raulishnikov

I mean what´s the problem to be gay?In fact many male dancers are gay, but not everyone!

In my view people need to be more tolerant, especially in this time!

Disgusting considering how people can come here from outside of the EU & get things for free. He's a credit to the UK for his tenacity and persistence in learning at the best and most prestigious Ballet Academy in the World.
